Another poster has recently said that being mad over rejection is a red flag. What about disappointment? There has been times where I have felt a bit disappointed after finding out that some one is taken. Is this a personality flaw?


On the other hand, I've never been outraged due to a rejection.

The level of "upset" is the true answer to this query.... I mean, everyone gets upset about rejection or whatever it happens to be be.... it's how you cope and deal with it, that is the true measure.............do you go off the deep end??? or do you deal.... that is the question... really at the end of the day....

Eh, I just move on. But it doesn't exactly make me ecstatic that someone I am interested in is not available.

Everyone gets a little p-oed. Only people with problems blame the other sex.

Having an emotional respose to rejection is normal and expected.

It is how the person acts in the face of that emotional response which is telling. If they are an emotionally strong person, they are able to hande, deal, and manage those emotions in a healthy way.

If they are not as emotionally strong, their anger and resentments will be evident through their negative outward reactions.

Well I guess that would be me. I always blame women. Why do they have to be so sexy and beautiful?

Just about everyone has been interested in someone who is not available for one reason or another.
It is part of life and you just move on and find someone else. It should not be upsetting but disappointment when one does not get what they think they want/need is a natural emotion.
